It's day two of my #Powershell for DBAs class.

Why don't students and sales weasels make sure students meet prerequisites?!

On the other hand, if that had been done, there would be no class, as I am the only student who has the pre-req knowledge.

Not sure if I'm going to benefit, but my current PS script is getting longer, so at least I am getting work done.

#GoodMorning and Happy Monday.

I'm starting off my work week with a two-day class on #powershell for DBAs, so looking forward to the day. I'm hoping for an easy class that is more of a refresher.

What if your #readline shipped with Copilot?

I'm still not sure if this is something I need or not, but I got Microsoft's CodexCLI working (again), just so I could show it off.

This is how I want github #copilot CLI to integrate.

I *do* like the explanations the current Copilot CLI gives, but I want this in the readline because I want to be able to edit the command I get back.

Figured I'd wait til review was finished before sharing my latest article published on @medium with Level Up Coding! Nothing super fancy, but definitely a great little insight into creating small user interfaces with #powershell to #automate daily IT tasks. Sometimes it's all you'll have at your disposal in a corporate environment! 😎 🖥 :microsoft: :terminal:

If you write #PowerShell you should check out Jakub Jareš' #Profiler module. In under a minute you can easily see which parts of your code are the slowest, and how slow they actually are so you know if they are worth optimizing.

#todayILearned that running a #powerShell script in a #GitHub action #cicd step - while still using "ubuntu-latest" - works perfectly.

I had a good idea that it *could* work. But having it work on the first try was a #happySurprise

I love #bashScripting, but when I'm generating a #jsonFile, PowerShell is the right tool for the job, for me.

Do you primarily use #PowerShell on Windows, MacOS, or Linux?

It's September. What presentation would you like to see at next year's #PowerShell summit? Lots of speakers are going to need to put in their talk proposals in the next couple months 😉

I‘ve started to develop a #PowerShell module for the API of #microfocus Service Management Automation X (#SMAX). Could this be useful for someone here?

Update to #365AutomatedLab

Now you can add the 3 different types of #Sharepoint sites using an excel workbook in one #PowerShell cmdlet! The remove is coming shortly 🙂

Thanks to @blackboxcoder for the help!

Warum sollte man PowerShell-Klassen nutzen?

Klassen werden in #PowerShell gerne übersehen, sie können einem das Leben aber oft viel einfacher machen. Christoph Burmeister zeigt und am 16.09. auf dem PowerShell Saturday in #Hannover ein paar Beispiele und Hintergründe, warum wir Klassen nutzen sollten.

4:30am seems like the right time to do an outline for a video on #365AutomatedLab a fun and useful #PowerShell #Microsoft365 Module

My more "realistic" idea is to have a Cmdlet like Register-ArgumentCompleter that registers an output parser. This is very similar to Jim Truher's idea from https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/native-commands-in-powershell-a-new-approach/#user-content-native-application-wrapping but it'll just extend commands instead of replacing them. I'd like to keep the original syntax of commands, I think it helps not having to translate snippets found online into #powershell speak.

The idea I'm most excited about is this: If a command begins by writing a specific escape code (OSC sequence or something?) then #powershell will interpret each line as an object by parsing the XML/JSON/whatever seems to be the best format. We can use other escape codes for Write-Host stuff, and stderr should not be parsed (right?).

I'm thinking about the structured output of #powershell commands, and how it would be nice if "native" commands could do it as well. I've got two ideas and I want to know if people think they have any value:
